Lin Sen took the telegram sent by Mrs. Song from the United States without saying a word. This kind of negotiation is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task. Britain and the United States have their own interests, and it is absolutely impossible for the coalition government to completely follow their ideas.

For example, it is impossible for the National Defense Forces to help defend India. There are still nearly one million Japanese troops staying in China, and this does not include their coerced troops.

The Nanyang Military Division has just been established, and even with the current manpower, it only has more than 100,000 people. And the equipment is far behind the Japanese army. If the war is forced to start, it will only cause heavy losses to the Nanyang Military Division.

"The situation of the Nanyang Military Division cannot be exposed for the time being. If something goes wrong, we will regret it later." Su Zongzhe shook his head at Lin Sen and said: "It can be saved, but not now."

Lin Sen sighed helplessly, how can the current situation allow the coalition government to choose?!

"My Chief of Staff, does the situation now leave us with a choice?! If we want to cooperate with Britain and the United States, we need to show our sincerity. According to our old saying, this is called a 'letter of surrender'."

"Otherwise, American warships will be given to us easily?! Their current fleet in the Pacific has suffered heavy losses. I guess they are also having internal debates about whether to take back the warships they agreed to give us. After all, the current situation is that Japan has threatened

They are local."

Lin Sen indeed hit the mark on the current state of the United States. There has been another backlash in Congress over the sale of warships to the coalition government that had previously formed a tacit understanding.

Some people firmly oppose the sale of warships to the coalition government. The loss of Pearl Harbor cannot be ignored. Now the United States is in urgent need of warships to protect its coastline.

At the same time, other people believe that since they have agreed, they should sell it. Moreover, if sold to China, it can also threaten the Japanese navy in Southeast Asia.

Forcing Japan not to easily attack the United States, the two sides are arguing. Some people think that even if they give warships, are the National Defense Forces willing to use these warships to contain the Japanese army?!

In the end, Roosevelt and Marshall settled the dispute. They decided to see if the coalition government was willing to contribute to contain the Japanese army in Southeast Asia.

This will determine whether and how much support should be given to the coalition government and the National Defense Forces.

"MacArthur has already withdrawn to Australia, and now the U.S. military in Southeast Asia is almost completely blank." Tu Mengben sneered: "MacArthur left all the responsibility to Wainwright, but how could it be possible with Wainwright's small number of troops?

Can you stop the Japanese?!"

Lin Sen sighed helplessly. In fact, MacArthur didn't know that by doing so, he was actually abandoning those American soldiers who were still in the Philippines?! But he had no choice, either he would fill it in himself or grit his teeth and let them fend for themselves.

Then look for opportunities to fight back and rescue them. There is no other way. If MacArthur also falls in the Philippines, then the United States will lose control in Southeast Asia. This is undoubtedly a terrible thing for the United States.

"Commander-in-Chief, although the Americans have this request, it is also good for us to control Southeast Asia." Yan Zhengqing was silent for a while, and then said to everyone: "Undoubtedly, this is the most difficult time for the Allied Forces.

.It was also the time when they lost control of Southeast Asia."

"We only need to wait a little while, and then the United States and Britain will completely lose control of Southeast Asia. By then we will be able to take over this region calmly." Yan Zhengqing pushed up his glasses and said with a smile.

"Following the situation, we cannot allow the Japanese to fight across the Pacific to expand their strength. Nor can we allow Europeans and Americans to continue to occupy Southeast Asia. This is because this will be extremely detrimental to our post-war situation."

All the participants nodded in agreement. This was the conclusion reached within the coalition government when the Japanese army launched the Southeast Asia campaign earlier. This cannot be changed in any way.

Southeast Asia involves China's future access to the Indian Ocean. The geographical location is too important to give up. The European and American forces occupying here are already weak. If we don't take this opportunity to capture them in the future and wait for them to recover, the situation will be

More troublesome.

"I think we should let the people from the Nanyang Military Division continue to lurk first, and wait until the US military is completely defeated in the Philippines before we start rescuing people." Tu Mengben thought for a while and said to the crowd.

"Of course, it's easy to find excuses. Just say that we are selecting people now and organizing people to go to rescue. But it will take time."

Lin Sen and others nodded. They did not want their earlier layout in Southeast Asia to be noticed by Europe and the United States. It is reasonable to spend time preparing if they want to save people.

"But at the same time, we demand that we have the right to start a war in Southeast Asia..." Tu Mengben's eyes flashed and he sneered: "Just tell Roosevelt and others that we can hold off Japan in Asia. But Southeast Asia must be included in the Asian war zone.

It is within the jurisdiction of Japan. After all, Japan will obtain resources from Southeast Asia to support the war. We will not sit idly by and ignore this."

"If we want us to hold back the navy, then the United States should provide us with warships. Of course, we will not take American warships for nothing. Those naval officers currently studying in the United States will serve in the U.S. fleet and assist the U.S. military in waging war in the Pacific and Atlantic."

After a pause, Yan Zhengqing said: "Chengzhang's current fleet can only lie dormant. Rather than letting them do nothing here, it would be better for them to go to the United States to assist in the war."

"After all, Chengzhang and the others are naval forces with experience fighting the Japanese army. I believe the Americans will accept this."

Yan Zhengqing's words made Lin Sen and others couldn't help but nod. American warships can train officers with actual combat experience for the National Defense Force. At the same time, the Navy Department of the National Defense Force was also able to supplement the naval power currently lacking due to the Pearl Harbor incident. The Navy Commander

Shen Honglie also nodded in agreement.

"The Air Force will also send some people over." At this time, Air Force Commander Chen Haihua spoke. He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "The United States has already given us a partial report on the situation at Pearl Harbor. Although many places have been vaguely modified, there are some

This can be proven.”

"The U.S. military does not have much experience in dealing with Japanese fighter jets. This is very fatal." Chen Haihua nodded on the table and said solemnly: "No matter what, our pilots have more experience in air combat against Japan than the U.S. military. In

At this point, we can have some cooperation, and at the same time, we can also use this to understand the situation of the US military's air force..."

Tu Mengben frowned and said to Chen Haihua: "Do we have enough manpower in the air force?! If we send them to the United States, will our own air strength be weakened?!"

Chen Haihua smiled slyly and said hehely: "There are not many people going, a hundred or so people will be enough. The real combatants will only be about fifty people. Are there others..."

Others include those from the field and ground support personnel, who go to help in combat operations and also learn from them. After all, the United States still has many aspects of its air force that the National Defense Force can learn from.

If you don’t use your brain to take advantage of this opportunity to gain experience, how long will it take?!

After everyone discussed for a long time, they finally decided on the cooperation status between the coalition government and Britain and the United States. As for France... who cares about that country whose land has been completely occupied?!

Mrs. Song quickly obtained the secret messages from the coalition government, which gave her more confidence in her negotiations. What gave her the most confidence was that the National Defense Forces would launch a full-scale general offensive against the Japanese army in Zhejiang at the end of this month.

"Mr. President, I have obtained the meeting resolution of our coalition government." Mrs. Song smiled at President Roosevelt during the fifth negotiation: "First, we will try to save those Allied soldiers who have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. But

We need some preparation time, after all, deploying manpower, collecting intelligence... we have a lot of preparation work to do."

"Secondly, we can try to hold back the Japanese army in the Southeast Asian theater. But what we need is the right to take charge of the Southeast Asian theater." Mrs. Song paused and said to the British envoy and Roosevelt: "Without this, we would not choose to enter Southeast Asia.

.”

"You are blackmailing!" The British envoy jumped up and shouted: "Singapore and Malaya belong to us! You can't do this!"

Mrs. Song smiled and waved her hand and said: "No, no, no... Mr. Special Envoy, you misunderstood. We just need the right to lead the war in Southeast Asia. The British soldiers in Singapore have been captured. In other words, you have lost

If we have the ability to fight there, then we should take over and curb the development of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia."

After saying that, before the special envoy could refute anything, Mrs. Song turned to Roosevelt and said with a smile: "Mr. President, in order to show our sincerity, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, General Tu Mengben, has decided to send more than half of the navy's officers and soldiers to the United States to supplement the

Help America defend the Pacific."

"These are all naval personnel who have experienced battles in the Yellow Sea and the Japanese Navy. Their arrival will greatly enrich the strength of the U.S. Navy." After a pause, Mrs. Song said with a smile: "Those who came with us are also from the Air Force.

A team of 150 people. They are all elites who have fought with the Japanese Air Force. I believe they will be helpful to the US military's war situation in the Pacific."

Roosevelt's eyes flashed and he nodded without saying anything. The British envoy also saw it. What the coalition government cares about is the attitude of the United States. As for the United Kingdom?! Go to sleep.

"Those naval officers who were originally trained in the United States have all joined the U.S. Navy to help fight." Mrs. Song said with a smile: "I believe that the sincere cooperation between our two countries can help the United States gradually open up the war situation in the Pacific."

"I think we should hold a meeting at an appropriate time with Prime Minister Churchill and General Tu Mengben to coordinate the combat issues among our three parties." Roosevelt smiled, looked at the British envoy and said: "I believe this is the right approach.

It would be better for us."
